Type: Installation guide

Auto/Clamp

Eliminates separate cable clamps as well as the tools

usually needed for installation. To install the cable, insert

stripped or non-stripped nonmetallic wire into the

Auto/Clamp

opening and pull through to the desired length.

The cable is automatically secured and the installation is

complete. There are no other operations for the electrician

to perform. Contractors can look forward to saving time

and money with every Auto/Clamp

plastic box installation.

(One cable per Auto Clamp)

Quick/Entry

Speeds installation by eliminating needs for tools.

Another time-saving idea is Quick/Entry

, a method that

allows you to push stripped or unstripped nonmetallic cable

into a single plastic box without removing knock-outs.

Jagged edges usually formed in other boxes are

eliminated.

(Multiple cables per Quick-Entry)

Quick/Click

Fast, easy and secure installations. The unique, labor

saving Quick/Click

design secures the wiring device quickly

and easily. Simply push in the mounting screws with a

screwdriver and turn the screw one or two turns.

With Quick/Click

mounting, you cannot cross-thread or

strip a device mounting screw.

Stabilizer

In a 2 x 4 application, the stablizer leg rests against the interi-

or surface of the opposing wall virtually eliminating inward

movement of the box.

Metal

Remove the rear stabilizing bar from its shipping position and

insert the long end into the slot located underneath the dry-

wall stop. For applications with wood studs, break off small

section of stabilizing bar where marked before insertion.

Integral

P122B is optimally sized for Steel studs only. All others may

be used with both steel and wood with little or no deflection.

Wood and Steel Stud

Metal Bracket

1. A CT-1 Crimping Tool, is recommended for the installation

of these boxes to steel studs.

Place box flush against side of steel stud, at the required

height, as shown in Figure 1.

Note: If box is to be mounted to a wood stud, use two

holes in the bracket to mount the box with common nails.

2. Place CT-1 tool over flange of stud and box bracket as

shown in Figure 2. Set point of crimping tool spindle in

hole provided between crimping teeth of the bracket.

3. Press handles of crimping tool firmly until teeth on bracket

penetrate steel stud and curl to secure box firmly to the

stud.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to secure the second set of teeth on

the bracket to the steel stud.

5. Multi-gang boxes are provided with a mounting bracket on

each side of the box so that one side can be nailed to a

wood stud or crimped to a steel stud. A phantom stud

(wood or steal) can then be mounted to the remaining

bracket on the box.

This phantom stud is nothing more than a short stud,

which once installed is pressed between the walls,

providing additional support for the box, as shown in

Figure 3.

Integral Plastic Bracket

Mount the box to the stud using two (2) screws (not included). Using the recommended type

of screw in conjunction with the countersunk mounting holes on the box allows for a truer

flush mount.

Recommended Screws: 1/2" minimum #6 flat head wood, drywall, or sheet metal screw.

Range and Dryer

For use with 30A - 60A flush mount receptacles. Factory installed internal cord clamp

accommodates 10 through 6 gauge wires.

Box Extender

Per NEC, “In walls or ceilings with a surface of concrete, tile, gypsum, plaster, or other non-

combustible material, boxes shall be installed so that the front edge of the box will not be set

back of the finished surface more than 6mm (1/4"). In walls and ceilings constructed of wood or

other combustible surface material, boxes shall be flush with the finished surface or project

therefrom.”

Pass & Seymour extension rings (available in 1 and 2 gang) are 1/4" thick and are stackable to

any desired thickness in 1/4" increments. A longer (#6-32) mounting screw may be required in

some applications.

Ceiling Box

1. Nail-On or J-Bracket types, just nail the ceiling box

accurately to the stud.

Note: The stud should rest on the built-in step (see

diagram) of the ceiling box to allow for flush mounting with

either 3/8" or 1/2" wallboard.

Bar-Hanger type, loosen both screws on bracket used to

secure box to hanger. Adjust bar hanger for either 16" or

24" joist spacing by aligning tab lock with proper slot. Fully

close tab lock with pliers until flush with bar surface. Nail

hanger to studs. Slide box to position desired and tighten

screws to secure box to hanger.

2. Auto/Clamps – Push nonmetallic cable (stripped or

unstripped) through the Auto/Clamp cable entry. Pull cable

to proper length.

3. When ceiling is finished, proceed to mount the lighting

fixture to the ceiling box, using the mounting strap supplied

with the fixture. Align the holes in the strap with the ceiling

box mounting holes.

4. Secure the lighting fixture to the mounting strap.

3-3/4" Round Ceiling and Wall Boxes

1. Cut a 3-3/4" round hole in the ceiling or wall using a hole saw.

2. Insert nonmetallic cable (stripped or unstripped) into the Auto/Clamp

cable entry.

3. Pull cable through to desired length. The cable is automatically secured without the need to

install separate clamps.

4. Insert the box into the hole and fasten using 3 - #6 screws that fully penetrate 3/8" trade size

or thicker plywood, or 7/16 trade size or thicker Oriented Strand Board (OSB), or 1/2" or

thicker solid wood.

Rating: 8 lbs. max. fixture rating when installed with 3 - #6 screws that fully penetrate 3/8"

trade size or thicker plywood, or 7/16 trade size or thicker Oriented Strand Board

(OSB), or 1/2" or thicker solid wood, for use on ceiling or walls. Not for fan support.

Low-Voltage Boxes and Divider

If you are installing video, telephone, or network wiring, you must use a low-voltage box or a

low-voltage divider to separate the low-voltage wiring from high-voltage electrical wiring.
